Anyway, this Oatmeal comic did a much better job of putting my thoughts about AI into words than I ever could:

What makes it worse is that someone *chose* to create a AI-generated robot crushing a symbolic representation of the game industry and thought it was a good idea.

Wadjet Eye of Sauron @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social · 5h

Those are being replaced by AI slop too. 😭

Wadjet Eye of Sauron @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social · 6h

AI is gonna stay, and the potential for good is staggering, but it needs to be regulated *now* because it’s being used for more harm than good.

I’m not so much of a Luddite that I can’t accept that AI can be useful as an aid or a tool for creatives. It’s when it’s used as a *replacement* for creatives that turns my stomach. There’s a lot of good things AI can do, but that’s not primarily what it’s being used for.

Creatives of all types are all worried about being replaced by robots. Showing an ad where a literal robot stomps on the GDC logo is more than a little tone-deaf.

GDC should be a place where human creativity is celebrated. This ad seems to be celebrating the exact opposite.

Shame on you guys.

I’ve always loved GDC. I went every year for 13 years. I’ve made some of my closest friends at GDC. I met my wife at GDC. I’ve struck life-changing business deals at GDC. I’ve always been inspired, motivated and rejuvenated by GDC.

This AI slop promo video makes me hate GDC.

There's obviously a ton of GOTY discussions, but what about your "underappreciated game of 2025" vote? For me, Old Skies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social is absolutely exceptional and I've been aggressively recommending it to everyone I know!

What are your picks?

Apparently Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Tintin) quietly closed down months ago but didn't announce it. Another fallen soldier.

Pendulo Studios (Runaway, Yesterday, Blacksad: Under the Skin) aurait définitivement fermé en mars 2025.

Le studio espagnol avait licencié la moitié de ses effectifs en mars 2024 après la sortie compliquée du Tintin Reporter : Les Cigares du Pharaon pour Microids.

Hehehe. Am gaming on PC for once & Old Skies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social is hitting the spot. I'm a sucker for time travel anything⏳(& hopefully one day I can VA for something like this!)

Now wish me luck in 1871 🥊

A screengrab of Agent Fia Quinn from Wadjet Eye Games' latest game Old Skies. I've clicked on a fire hydrant and the text reads "A fire hydrant. Joe Anderson does not appear to be hiding behind it."

That took effort in the days before photoshop. Like, they felt *that* strong about it.

Wadjet Eye of Sauron @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social · 3d

Oh wild! Thanks so much. I hope you enough it.

I mean, if you INSIST.

Steam autumn sale is almost over and it did pretty well! This is especially notable since most of my pre-scheduled marketing posts weren’t posting to Twitter. This means that this strong showing is purely (mostly) to promoting on BlueSky. So thanks, BlueSky!
